Being a convenience friend means that you are always someone's last option if they have absolutely no one else to hang out with and nothing to do. When fun stuff is planned they will usually leave you out. You may also find that you are always be the one reaching out to make hangout arrangements. Occasionally the other person may call or text you first but this is rare. This is usually only done at times when money is scarce in order to assess whether you have anything of value which they can mooch off of you.
Bob: "I called Dave to see if he wanted to hangout, but he said he's busy at work even though its Sunday, which is weird because I could've swore I heard a party and laughter in the background. Guess I'm his convenience friend."

The "popular" group or "clique" in high school who was distinct from jocks (though they were closely associated with them). Some were involved in student government and clubs, which gave them even more social leverage. They usually wore unobtrusive outfits that blended easily into the crowd, such as polos with shorts or t-shirts with jeans. Their music tastes were usually mainstream and uncontroversial (stuff you'd hear on the radio). They usually all congregated in one place. Essentially, they weren't so much a subculture in itself but rather functioned more as an "absence of subculture," which is what gave them broad mainstream appeal.
